Gamestop/EB Games has a great Black Friday offer on the horizon for Nintendo fans looking for something to wear to all of their Wii parties they no doubt have booked well into the New Year.

Starting on Nov. 24th and for a limited time only, purchasing any two new Nintendo DS games will get you a snazzy t-shirt featuring a beefy, shirtless man -- who looks scandalously similar to Nintendo of America CEO, Reggie Fils-Aime -- wielding a Wii controller and a nunchuck peripheral.

While it's questionable as to why Gamestop/EB Games would offer this Wii-centric shirt to customers purchasing DS software, Fils-Aime-niacs nationwide are sure to be forming lines to rival that of any recent console launches.
Kotaku is reporting something different.

Reader exit86drummer wrote in saying he had received this t-shirt from a friend who works at a Gamestop. So, being the ace reporter that I am, I put on my Press hat and headed down to my local EB gaming concern to see what the deal was.

I discovered upon entering that they still didn't have their Wii kiosk up and running (grumble, grumble) since they were waiting for their tardy Nintendo Rep to come set it up for them. I chatted for a bit with my store's game mistress and got a few details about tonight's midnight launch and eventually got around to asking about the t-shirt. She confirmed that they indeed would be giving these t\T's out to everyone who had pre-ordered a Wii. Then I heard those magic words, "You want yours now?" she said with a sly wink. Of course, I said "Yes" and duly received my sweet shirt. As I gazed lovingly on it I noticed, and exit86drummer agrees with me, that the guy on the shirt is the spitting image of Reggie a la' Bruce Lee.

I will wear my hunky Reggie shirt proudly to tonight's midnight launch and make everyone in line jealous until some gun toting maniac mugs me for it.

Shit, is this coming in Canada too? That'd be so awesome. I'll even mention it on my Christmas list, see it if happens.

LMAO at the shirt! That's gold.

Rockgamer Nov 19, 2006 02:13 PM

Why do they do this after I already bought like 5 DS games within the last month already? I can't say that I would actually wear the shirt, but it would be nice to have.

ramoth Nov 19, 2006 02:52 PM

I'm going to be calling my local Gamestop to find out what the deal with this is.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Nov 19, 2006 06:39 PM

Is... is that Bruce Lee's body they used?

EDIT: If I had read the fucking article properly, the answer would be a yes.

Chaotic Nov 19, 2006 09:08 PM

Oh. Em. Eff. Gee.

I HAVE TO GET THIS SHIRT. Screw going to Best Buy, Gamestop is my destination Black Friday.

My EB clerk said "A karate guy"

It's Reggie and I WANT!

Omnislash124 Nov 20, 2006 02:14 PM

OMG....

I swear Bruce Lee + Reggie = ???

I see connections. Some Bruce Lee goodness on the Wii? O.O

Sweet, I'm glad I put off getting EBA. I'll have to check that out this weekend.

K_ Takahashi Nov 21, 2006 01:22 AM

All the more reason for me to pick up EBA and FFIII.

Black Friday cash spending is OVER.

Lukage Nov 22, 2006 03:12 PM

GOT THE SHIRT! (Pics later)

Just sweet-talk the girl behind the counter for T-shirt win! :D

ramoth Nov 22, 2006 03:59 PM

I called, and my Gamestop had no idea what I was talking about. I may try to ask them in more idiot-friendly terms: "hey my friend got this cool shirt with a guy holding the wii controller like a nunchuck, looked like bruce lee or something. he said he got it at gamestop you guys know anything about this?"
